Twitter: Free Retiring***Merged***

[Qbert]

Ryan Clady? Sebastian Vollmer? On a one year deal? Not much out there

 

[Idgit]

Ouch.

Garett Bolles at 28.

Rather trade 2018 2nd for Joe Thomas. Cleveland having fire sale since Jackson hired. Or get Green fitted with Cyborg parts.

Guess that means Dak = Injured next year since Free was bad enough and we don't even have someone near as good as Free to replace him.

If anybody would suffer it would be Zeke as Free was actually a good run blocker. He's bad in pass protection tho so Dak might actually benefit. Overall Free won't be hard to replace and I think Green can definitely do it...just a matter if he can stay on the field.

Chaz is next man up, but the team will have to add another option given his injury history.

They will find a veteran later in FA to compete with Green and Cleary. Also Free may have retired right after being told the team intended to cut him for the 5 MM cap savings.

Cooper to LG, Collins to RT.

Anyone know if Rob Petitti or Torrin Tucker are available?

I don't know about them, but I hear Phil Pozderak might be interested.

 

[movaughn88]

His cap hit was $7.5m according to sportrac, can anyone confirm that is completely "Freed" up?

That can certainly pay for a veteran stopgap I would think, any available?

Well, the "anyone would be better than Doug Free" crowd should be happy.

There's a lot resting on Will McClay's shoulders this offseason to find some quality role players from under rocks.

 

[Direwolf63]

Just saw it.

 

[BlueStar22]

Yep, another hole? Still want all defense? Chaz Green? Ugh.

 

[NextGenBoys]

This off-season sucks so far. So did the playoffs.

Gah.

 

[robjay04]

Disrespectful he didn't notify the organization until now. Stephen was just saying last week that Free will be our starter next year and he hasn't heard anything about him retiring.

Bring in Andre Smith

I feel like this is important enough to trade a 2018 4th or 5th round pick for someone's backup/swing T who might be blocked by starters?

 

[NextGenBoys]

Cooper to LG, Collins to RT.

Hmmmmm.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

I'm surprised you guys aren't celebrating. Haven't gone a day without an anti Free thread in the past 5 years.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Anyone grab DJ Fluker yet?

 

[speedkilz88]

Collins isn't moving with leary gone

They can re-sign Cooper.

Somebody get Char-ron Dorsey on the phone!
